AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act of 2025

This bill requires the Department of Transportation to make a rule that all new passenger vehicles must have AM radio as standard equipment. The rule applies to vehicles made in the United States, imported to the United States, or shipped between states after the rule takes effect. Before the rule starts, car manufacturers that don't include AM radio must clearly label this fact and cannot charge extra fees for AM radio access. The government can fine companies that break the rule, and the Department of Justice can take legal action to stop violations. The rule expires 10 years after the bill becomes law, and the Government Accountability Office must study how emergency alerts are sent to the public, including how AM radio compares to other alert systems.
